Famous Danish People
In this article I am going to mention just a few of the people who have done theirs to make Denmark known across oceans and borders.... Some years ago some people came together in the name of the newest trend in music; a mixture of pop and dance rhythms. Today their music is being played all over the world and the group has won several prices for their music. The group we are talking about is of course the Danish group AQUA with Swedish lead singer Lene Grawford Nystrøm. Another well-known and popular Danish is D:A:D former known as Disneyland After Dark. They play hard rock and heavy metal and have already been active for years now. Talking about music then there is one Dane who really has made himself a name out there. That is of course Lars_Ulrich from Metallica. He is one of the absolutely most famous drum players living. He more or less formed Metallica back in 1980/81 and he and the band had their first show in 1982. Another entertainer well respected both in Denmark but also in the US is Victor_Borge also known as Børge Rosenbaum. He was a great humorist and musician. He had his first debut in 1926 and was one of the most popular Danish artists in the 30ies. In 1940 he moved to N.Y., USA and became an American citizen in 1948. While in the entertainment industry there is a young Danish actress who is about to get her name on the American board. She just had her debut in the American movie 'High Fidelity' with John Cusak. Her name is Iben_Hjejle and is already known from various Danish movies as i.e. one of the popular Danish dogma movies called 'Mifunes' also to find in American video stores. Brigitte_Nielsen former known as Brigitte Stallone is yet another Dane who got her face in magazines and news papers around the world, - especially after her marriage to Sylvester Stallone 1985-87. But Brigitte also had her own career both as a singer, model and actress. She has been in movies as 'Cobra', 'Red Sonja' and 'Beverly Hills Cops 2'. One of the most beautiful famous Danes out there has to be super model Helena_Christensen born 1968. Go To Page: 1 2
